And that's treacherous in that ISRDDN will report only a member in
a Legacy data set while BLDL will find a similarly named member in
an earlier UNIX catenand.  I went to ETR on this a few years ago;
got WAD.  Shameful; BAD.

Does LMINIT have a catenation limit?

Of course, that could be changed dynamically, unexpectedly while
Edit is in progress.  Nonetheless, an early warning would be a
courtesy.

The motive for saving into the first catenand may be that earlier
catenands tend to be development libraries; later system libraries.
It's simple source code control -- after testing you can move the
member to a more stable level.
